Oh, so we’re not bots, just “inauthentic,” which appears to be anyone who dares to have a strong opinion about his poor choices.

Tripling down in the face of Minnesotan opposition is certainly a choice.
But during the course of the AM I/others noted a swarm of inauthentic accounts joining the discourse, attacking me, raising the temperature as they do.

As background I've led countering disinfo campaigns at the national level & know what inauthentic speech looks like. 5/

The more I read those critics the more I think they are GOP/ Russian trolls. Who ever they are the agenda seems to dissuade us from creating any sense of unity. And to instil a sense of distrust of any dem leader. This approach worked in 2024. They’re doing it again. I say ignore and block.

People act like saying “that candidate also wants me and mine and yours dead” is a betrayal of democracy bc they believe that the best our democracy gets is “they are killing other groups i don’t have to think about regularly”

There is a right wing anti-immigrant/hate rally today in Minneapolis. It will focus on the Cedar Riverside community.

To anyone planning on going to counter protest in the area. DON'T! You are ignoring what the actual residents of the neighborhood are telling you to do. Listen to the community.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

If you were wondering, yes, gift messages in Amazon support emojis, and no, they don’t appear to be censored.

CA people could really do #adoptees a solid by calling their reps *immediately* to voice support for SB-381, a clean bill giving CA adoptees access to their original birth certificates.

Hey congressman numbnuts have you ever tried to scan a Pokémon QR code? Now imagine doing it while masked Gestapo with a tactical plate carrier and an AR15 smashes in your windshield and drags you out of your car you regular Einstein
I am introducing the Quick Recognition (QR) Act, which requires ICE and CBP officers to wear uniforms featuring QR codes. When scanned, the code would generate a digital ID displaying the officer’s name, badge number, and law enforcement agency.

ICE should be unmasked both physically and digitally.

TikTok and YouTube have now been officially sorted out.

They now know that I'm me and not just me pretending to be me.

Which sounds like a metaphorical thought experiment more than what it was... and "what it was" was stupid.
TikTok and YouTube flagged my accounts for apparently “impersonating” …. myself ?????

Anyway, trying to fix that now.

If anyone knows criminal defense attorneys helping with those detained by ICE today, please let me know. I would like to get in contact to offer support if possible.

I practice family law but another lawyer body is another lawyer body.

A lot of people are fighting over whether or not watching a video of someone's death makes you a better activist or person and I would like to gently suggest that what you do in response to the video's existence is what matters, whether you watched it or not.

ICE isn’t welcome here. ICE shouldn’t exist. Every elected official must be clear-eyed about the fact that ICE is a threat to our entire country and must be abolished. As we in the Twin Cities know too well, our taxes are going to fund an entity that is attacking our neighbors; this has to end.

We’ve graduated from “abolish ICE is the moderate position” to “Nuremberg trials for the Trump regime and its Gestapo is the moderate position.”
